Real Results

Here's what women have said*:

84% saw an overall improvement in the skin's appearance.

90% felt their skin was softer and smoother.

72% felt their pores looked smaller and more refined.

* Based on an independent U.S. consumer study of 50 women.

Suggested Usage Instructions

In the palm of your hand, work a small pearl-sized amount (don't use too much-less is more) into a rich foam with lukewarm water. Massage onto skin in small circular motions, enjoy the experience, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use morning and night. Avoid eye area.

Pleasantly Surprised
I have very oily skin and I enjoy this cleanser. This takes only a very small amount of product in the palm of the hand when mixed with a couple drops of water makes a rich, luxurious foam. Rinsing leaves a squeaky clean feeling to the skin, then it feels awful for about 30 seconds or so with a heavy clay like feeling. When that feeling goes away I am left with a soft, bright, youthful looking skin and pores are minimized. I intend to continue using this product.

A must have
Brought this after reading all the great reviews, and I can see why! I am one of the BE users that pack on the layers ie moisturizer, primer,concealer, well rested, ready wear, blush and more depending on the day so I really need a face wash that would CLEAN face. This met the challenge, I would have to say when I am lazy and don't use my eye make up remover to take off my mascara I will have to wash eye area twice but I never experience drying or irritatition( unless I get wash in my eye)
the amount you use and the size of the bottle is unreal for price! If you are in the market for a new cleanser this is a great buy!

good product-a little goes a long way
I got a tiny tube with my starter kit. Used it for the first time a couple of days ago. It works well--washes off easily and cleanly (unless you overuse, like I did the first time), though I can't say it is that much better than other products I have used.
One does not need much at all to work up a lot of lather--The first time, out of habit, I squeezed out a dime-sized amount. I ended up washing my neck and my hands and had to rinse a long time to get rid of all the lather. So I suspect this tiny tube will last me a while.
05/04/2013

AMAZING- must try!
I am literally writing this review immediately after using this cleansing foam because of how amazing my skin feels! I received a sample size of this cleansing foam in my starter kit and used it for the first time today. Although the directions say that a pearl size should be used, I used probably 7x that size and soon began to regret that decision. This cleanser provides an extremely soft and smooth lather and a pearl size amount truly would have sufficed.
While washing my face, I did feel that my face felt extremely clean and squeaky, the way it feels when you are washing dishes. I didn't really enjoy this and planned on never using it again until after I was done, I touched my skin and it was sooooooo smooooooth. Wow. It is so interesting to see how such a small amount of this cleanser will do its job correctly. I highly recommend this product and I'm going to order a full size bottle the next time!

Please Make in Pump
This foams beautifully & does not strip or dry out my already parched skin. It does not take off your full makeup the way the Purifying Cleanser does, but is way more gentle. This works so well with my Clarisonic. I would love for BM to take this out of a tube & put into a package with a pump. This is super cumbersome in the shower.
04/18/2013

Glowing Clean skin!
I use the Exfoliating and Purifying cleansers already and love them both so, I wanted to give this one a try for the warmer weather. First off, I'm pleasantly surprised how little product you need to cleanse, I'm even more pleased with the results! I am truly on the path to beautiful skin, my skin is glowing, bright and healthy looking with this (and all) Bare Mineral skin care products! I am having the best skin of my life now that I have switched to this line. Start here!
04/12/2013

Deep Cleansing Foam
A little goes a long way, about a pea size drop.. I add water a few drops at a time until I get the texture I want.. This is a refreshing way to wake up for me. Leaves my oily skin soft instead of tight, and a good 1 step to remove Face makeup. I use a different process for my eyes.
04/01/2013

LOVE THIS PRODUCT
I absolutely love this product! I have stopped breaking out since I have used this product. Also I have even got my boyfriend to buy it! Great product all around!
03/30/2013

great foaming cleanser
This cleanser is great - I love how gentle it is, but it produces a rich foam that really cleanses my skin. Even in the winter, my skin doesn't get dried out after using it. It definitely helps keep problem areas under control and feels great.
03/14/2013

Pretty Good Cleanser
I bought this cleanser to alternate with the powder exfoliating treatment (which I love). I really appreciate that just a teensy tiny little bit of this deep cleansing foam is enough for your whole face, however, my skin feels a little weird after I rinse it off. Almost like it has a film on it. After I use the brightening glow pads and moisturizer I don't notice it and it seems to do a really good job of cleansing. My skin looks great! Just a strange feeling right after I rinse it off.
03/09/2013

Product Title Appropriate!
Love this cleanser because it foams great with my Clarisonic and digs in deep to get a great clean. And, all that's needed to cleanse is just a tiny bit--I love a good value on my skin care products.
03/04/2013

LOVE THIS CLEANSER!!!
I'm very happy with this cleanser!! My skin started clearing up within a week!!! thats better then proactive (which ive tried in the past) Its very refreashing and doesn't dry you out...i no longer need a moisturizer, just a tiny dot and it does the job!! this product works and is priced right...win win!!! i'm seriously so happy with this, even my family members and my hubby have been saying stuff to me about how great my skin looks and how quick it cleared up...thanks for giving me clear skin again...very happy :)))) thanks :))
02/11/2013

Not very effective
This cleanser gave me bad break out my skin is very oily helped a lot with staying oil free but gave me the worst break out in years.
02/07/2013

Great with the Clairsonic
I love this clenser with my Clairsonic. It foams up just right with just the smallest amount. (I'm pretty sure my hubby is using it secretly but that's cool with me) It does sting the eyes a bit if it gets in them unlike the very gentle purifying facial clenser, but my skin feels so super cleen after using this it's worth simply keeping my eyes shut tight.
My only warning is dry skin beware; I am on the dry side of normal and if I'm not quick to moustrize, my skin can feel very tight and dry. If you have super dry skin this may not be the clenser for you.
01/24/2013

Great lather, terrible clean
I love the rich, foaming lather of this. I can't get through the smell, it's bad! Hard to feel clean when the cleanser smells like dirt. Disappointed.
01/19/2013

:) big smiley face
I love this cleanser! My face feels so fresh and clean that it makes me smile. I have used BE makeup for years but just added the cleanser recently. Glad I added this!
01/08/2013

Magic Eraser
This clenser is EXCELLENT. Sometimes I feel like it is like the energizer bunny, just keeps going and going.... It never runs out of foam and it is perfect to use with a clarisonic. The way that this takes off makeup gently and thouroughly is absolutely perfect for day and night. It preps the skin and creates a clean soft surface for the glorious makeup.
12/15/2012

Perfect Cleanser!
This is an awesome cleanser for everyday use on oily skin. It leaves my skin feeling squeeky clean and can be used twice daily without drying out my skin.
11/12/2012

No tricks
I have tried for a long time for a product that would truly clean ALL of my pores. This is a very gentle creamy foam wash that gets in deep and leaves my skin fresh and clearer than when I was see a professional esthetician.
I would give like others to know that a little goes a long ways. A small pea size of the cleanser rubbed together in my hands is more than I really need to use. This important to know because I made the mistake of using too much. Also, a plus, is the cost is very nice.
11/03/2012

Caused Breakouts
I'm really sad about this product not keeping my skin clear because I felt confident with all of the great reviews. Prior to using it, my skin had no breakouts and my only problem areas were some blackheads on my nose and then some lighter blackheads in the center of my forehead. I figured this would be great to use to help my skin get clearer so I bought a trial size. I adore bareMinerals makeup and had previous success with the powder exfoliating cleanser many, many years ago (I had been since using another exfoliating cleanser). For the first few days, my skin looked radiant and healthy and because of that, I shared it with my husband so he could also benefit from it because he has normal/combination skin like I do. Over the last month and a half since we've been using this cleanser, once a day and a small amount, we both began developing cystic acne, with several smaller whitehead eruptions starting to form. We both rejected the purging idea because the cleanser was obviously not right for either of us so we stopped using it and I went back to my regular cleanser. I still believe it's a great cleanser for a lot of other users but there was something about it which didn't agree with our skin.
09/14/2012

Deep Cleansing Foam
This was the second cleanser I purchased. I switch between Purify Cleanser and Deep Cleansing Foam daily. I love using the Deep Cleansing Foam, because it really feels like it's removing all the dirt and oil off my face. Since using the complete line of cleanser, my skin has made a wonderful turn around.
09/10/2012

Fantastic
I have been using this cleanser for several months and a little goes a long way. It is an exceptional product. My skin is so clear and soft to the touch. I have been using bare minerals foundation as well as other makeup products from BE for several years and now i am adding this cleanser to my collection of BE products. My skin is so fantastic looking that i am receiving compliments all the time. Can't get better than that!
09/09/2012

I used the glow pads and love them; skin feels really soft. Used soft side on part of face that didn't have dark spots and the rough side for the spots. Hope I can get rid of the dark spots or at least even out the skintone
09/08/2012

Buy It Now!
I have struggled with my skin since my teen years. Never afraid to try something new, I tried the Deep Cleansing Foam. I use mine in the shower where my skin is already moist and it can save me an extra step. First, I was so happy with the smell. So many facial cleansers and scrubs smell terrible. This has a nice "clean" and refreshing smell to it. I was also surprised at how little you actually have to use to get the foaming action! I had gotten a trial size to test out at home and it lasted a couple of weeks for me and that's a really long time. Honestly though, my favorite part is that I have had less breakouts since beginning to use the deep cleansing foam than ever before in my life! I don't have to worry about blemishes because the cleanser was too harsh and that has always been a concern.
This is a cleanser that you can count on and if you don't like it you can take it back. Not many cleansers have that kind of back up!
08/28/2012

not satisfied
I have been using bare minerals make up for about 10 years now.And I love bare minerals but I do think not all of the bare mineral products coming up are good..and this is one of them.For the skin I do not recommend it because it does not remove impurities like makeup.Deep cleansing foam I would think it would cleanse make up also and for the price it should remove make up also..I used it on my skin and the next day I got a big pimple on my skin,my skin was clogging with this foam,so I stopped using it.It is terrible for eyes also because it irritates them very bad,I do not recommend it for use on face.
08/24/2012

This is my favorite cleanser ever! I recommend this to everyone :)
08/07/2012

Get it this second
It works. I read the reviews before I bought it and most were good. One review said it didn't remove makeup and it sas nowhere on the box that it will remove makeup. It made a huge difference over night!! You have to try this even if you have sensitive skin. I have really sensitive skin and one of the beauty advisers said to try it and if it didn't work take it back. No chance I'm taking this product back! Its wonderful. (remove your makeup first for the deepest clean... And open pores with warm water... I've learned this works best) Get it right now!!
08/05/2012

SO GOOD for your skin
The first time I washed my face with this I could feel the difference!! The dryness went away and the texture has only improved! I have very sensitive skin so the fact that this is very gentle is a plus. The foam feels amazing on your skin, and you really only need a tiny bit to get a good amount of foam in your hands. This product is amazing...I am never going back!
08/01/2012

Less is more
This product last forever! A pea size is too much you just need a drop. After cleansing your face will have a squeaky clean feeling.
07/27/2012

This is one great product!
Being a woman over 50 and still dealing with break out issues, I've tried every cleanser out there to help keep my skin clean and clear without drying out or being too oily. I've finally found one I love with this cleanser! A little bit goes a long way and as well as working great, one tube of this cleanser has lasted me nearly 6 months! I use it every day, morning and night and simply think it's the best skin care product out there! Thanks, Bare Minerals for making such a fantastic cleanser.
